100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers who can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face in order to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians acquire excellent treatment solutions within a rehabilitation environment that is discreet and with rehabilitation specialists available to them who comprehend the unique problems that they experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered because of the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them resolve these issues and give them the confidence that they've lacked prior to arriving in treatment can be quite a crucial part of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
